Abstract: 

Syphilis is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections in Brazil. It is a systemic disease, with rapid tests available in Primary Care, that is, with rapid diagnosis. Nevertheless, the indicators of Gestational Syphilis continue in an upward curve and the curve of Congenital Syphilis follows the same way. Knowing that prenatal care focuses directly or indirectly on the reduction of maternal and perinatal mortality, this study aimed to describe the studies published and to relate to the indicators on syphilis and prenatal care in the municipality of Campo Grande, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study of the literature review and indicators on the thematic of the region. The studies indicate that even with a high prenatal coverage in the city, the indicators of GS and CS are not close to the goal agreed by the country. This study points out possible reflections and provides subsidies for the elaboration of a multiprofessional and interdisciplinary care proposal in the management of pregnant women with syphilis.
